Growing!!!

So I was told today that I've grown. My first response was that I had been on vacation and was allowed to eat ALL that I wanted. (very funny, I know) But she meant that I've grown more mature and that I seem to be clear headed and humble. I, at first, thought that she meant I no longer acted like a teenager, but she said that we all have 2 sides. A good side, a bad side, a future and a past. And if I'm to love someone that means I need to embrace both sides of a person. I think I'm trying to do that with more than one person. Think about it, we love our family, friends, our pets, and even our neighbors. My challenge to everyone is simply said, are you willing to embrace both sides of a person who you love? I would hope to think that most everyone would say "YES" but there are a few people who forget that no one is PERFECT that people make mistakes all the time and its up to them to learn from those mistakes. It doesn't matter if someone has a good side or a bad side. What matters most is that we are all willing to not pass judgment onto others especially when we ourselves don't want to be judged. I just ask that everyone try their hardest to look past the good and bad side's of people. We are all told to be a friend to everyone no matter what. That means, even if someone doesn't be a Friend to you, that you keep being a friend to them. Someone once said that they will only put forth effort into a relationship/friendship if the other person does too. Well God says differently and when he said "love one another" it didn't mean you pick and choose who, it means that you forgive and forget and love. So look beyond the good and bad side and see the person within.

Life in Question

So I was thinking the other day that life has always been filled with non-stop questions. Here are a few that have either stuck with me or I have asked over the past few years, months, weeks, days, and hours.

Years: What do I want to do for a profession?
Why don't I have any friends?
(and my not so favorite, favorite)
When will I find my one true love?
Months: Why do I believe in the Book of Mormon?
Why does everyone look at me funny?
What do I need to do to find an Eternal Companion?
Why is being a girl have to include drama?
Why do I say I'm fine when I'm not?
Why do I let them get the best of me?
Weeks: How many more days until my cruise?
When will Cody be home?
Do you think I bought to much clothes for my trip?(answer was yes)
Why do guys think that just cause a girl says hi to them that the girl now likes them?
Why are boys so dumb?
Is being done with guys a good thing or a bad thing?
Why in the world do I let them get the best of me?
Days: Really?
Can I please feel comfortable with myslef?
Why can't I get enough of you?
Why do I not stand up for myself and others?
Who cares if you cry yourslef to sleep?
Why do you let them get to you?
Why does no one understand you?
Hours: Mabe I should learn a new language?
Will it hurt more to break ties or to try and mend them?
Why do you allow people to manipulate you?
Why do you allow people to tell you how you feel?
How come you never stick up for yourself?
How does it feel to let people walk all over you?
Why do you not think your beautiful?
(AND MY PERSONAL FAVORITE's)
What if your not good enough for him?
What if they hate you?
What if she thinks your no longer worth being a friend to?
What if it doesn't hurt when this is all over?
What if he never realizes how amazing you really are?
What if your to late to come to a compromise?
What if you weren't meant to be closer than you are?
What if you were wrong?
What if you were right?
What if no one ever understands what your trying to say and who you are?
What if none of this was worth it?
